- Virtual Reality is about more than fun and games, you can actually use it as a serious productivity tool, or can you? I test two of the best VR desktop apps to see if it’s actually practical to use VR as a replacement for your real-world desktop.

This is EXACTLY what I would prefer instead of a 4k monitor.
color accuracy gonna be a pain
@@daton3630 i mean who gives an F about that unless you're a creator.
@@aldionsylkaj9654 im what you'd consider a creator and color accuracy is absolutely important
@@daton3630 i'm also a nasa engineer so I can guide a satellite into your house.
@@aldionsylkaj9654 no, thanks
Hey Sydney! Thank you for the love!
And thank you :)
When you are looking at the monitors in VR, is the signal leaving the network to an outside server or is the whole environment within the local network?
Why doesn't this video have more views? I've been looking at these videos for like an hour and this answers all my questions so concisely.
I think its because hes not wearing and testing one
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, great video, thanks!
I plan to set up my office in my room and I think this is the way to go. No monitor. Just work with multiple floating screens and get the work done.
Perfect video. So concise and provides exactly the information I needed :)
Nobody talks enough about text legibility. I think this is a very important and common question, for new adopters that don't have hands on experience. Are we looking at displays that are 720p equivalent? 1080p equivalent?
Not easy to quantify. They are typically re-casted in their native res, but the res of your headset and how big you make the virtual screen determines its effective quality level. Oculus Quest 2 is where text is begins to be good enough to read text in documents ~2500x2500 per eye. There is a free open-source Linux app to make its desktop virtual and it's optimized for the best text rendering instead of 3d games support called SimulaVR, but its only compatible with SteamVR native headsets like Vive/Vive Pro and Valve Index so far.
I totally agree with this question. I do understand that it is subjective.
I am holding off with any purchase because I'd be so annoyed if I bought it, only to find that it isn't quite there in terms of text quality (like older headsets I've tried). I'll probably wait for the Cambria version.
@@ChristoferB btw I moved ahead and bought the quest 2. Fantastic headset. I wouldn't hesitate. Get into the game now.
Text is very legible
@@ChristoferB If you can spare the money and can wait till the end of the year, I'd suggest the Pimax Crystal or Pimax 12K. They will release with miniled technology and replacable lenzes, making it more durable in the long run and crystal clear image quality, thus reading in a document file will be even easier for your eyes.
@@Rexy_Raccoon Thanks Sam. I wish I had your advice earlier. I bought the Quest 2 second hand. It's a nice toy and good fun for a while, but as a serious business tool? Not on your nelly!
That's what I looked for. Thanks :)
Very well made video. Thank you.
Great video, concise and to the point while well explained!
Glad you liked it :)
would you say you still work in VR from time to time? i find the topic fascinating! WOrking should be fun!!!!!!!
fascinating topic, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Well done. I learned a great deal in a short time.
Great to hear!
underated video should get more views...
Not much but here is a sub..
Thanks for subbing! :)
agreed. THis creator will blow up for sure
@@LiveBenchmarks Thanks for watching and commenting :)
You could use OVR TOOL -virtual desktop and SteamVR home
can we play steam games directly
So except of the price of headset I had to pay monthly for addition monitors in programs ???????
SteamVR's desktop environment would be perfect if they put more effort into polishing it around the idea that it's a literal desktop replacement. I'm using it now with my quest 2 over link, and the oculus desktop disabled. Runs beautifully, but it doesn't produce virtual monitors. Instead, it mirrors your physical one's. Which is a huge issue that they could fix. I would throw away my current monitor setup in a fucking flash if they managed it.
Will let you know how my Pimax 8kx goes XD
Also highly recommend vSpatial
How did it go
Hi. I'm not sure it can match the actual monitor, just yet, coz' the resolution would be limited to the VR's resolution.
God bless.
And Simula One: Portable Linux VR Computer?
Are VR deviced known, that has not the pixel density issues ?
The newest headsets coming are 5k HD equivalent. The Avarjo Aero has the highest density ~35PPD where things like Valve Index are around 15ppd and Quest 2 ~20 ppd IIRC. The Aero is 2k USD though, but there is no visible screen door effect.
AR desktop is even better it would mean you won’t be cut off from real world. All you would need is a stylish AR Spec, it may even replace all your devices, phone, iPad, tablet, sat nav…etc
Absolutely, but the best AR glasses (not camera passthrough like Quest Pro) still have some way to go when it comes to field of view.
@@SydneyButler thats true, I think this is where visual communication technological advances are headed. mobile phones may become obsolete.
The problem with AR as it stands is legibility. Viture and Nreal are near impossible to use for anything more than gaming and movies. As the lenses are focused strictly in center. Due to the nature of the OLED that they use. Which is a very small screen projected through a prism. It causes a lot dithering around your periphery. Once they are able to solve that issue. It's a hard one. Then, this will become a reality.
@@aarishwani6602 Your phone will become the computer that drives them.
Why is Microsoft not making windows VR
Also working on mac ?
Immersed VR has a Windows, Linux and MacOS version.
I didn’t like immersed the xtra screens are awful the quality is so low that u can’t read anything xd virtual destokp instead looks amazing but can’t add monitors lol can’t have everything
“Polished”
I'm sorry but I tried that Immersed App and it wasn't feeling stable at all. Beside its buggy and I wouldnt recommend it.
#dolphinVr
